Cased DP system
Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-004293
A rod system consisting of inner rods and outer drive casing. Also referred to as "dual-tube" DP systems. The soil sampling barrel is attached to inner rods. The inner rods and outer casing are typically driven simultaneously. The sampling tool is then withdrawn, emptied, and re-inserted, while the outer drive casing is left in the ground to keep the hole open. Minimizes sloughing and contamination of soil samples.
